Study Notes
- Study notes on the theories of intelligence are summarized below:
Two-Factor Theory (Charles Spearman)
- Intellectual abilities share a common factor called the general factor "g."
- Specific "s" factors are each strictly specific to a single activity.
- Psychological tests should measure the amount of each individual's "g."
- Tests dealing with abstract relations are the best measures of "g."
- Raven's Progressive Matrices and Culture Fair Intelligence Test are two tests to measure "g."
Multiple-Factor Theory (L.L. Thurstone)
- Specific "s" intellectual abilities are more important than global ones like "g."
- There are group factors that are related.
- Labeled 7 primary mental abilities:
- Verbal Comprehension
- Word Fluency
- Number
- Space
- Associative Memory
- Perceptual Speed
- Inductive Reasoning
Structure of Intellect Mode (J.P. Guilford)
- Boxlike model of intelligence classifying intellectual traits along three dimensions:
- Operations: What a respondent does.
- Contents: Nature of materials and information.
- Products: Form in which information is processed.
- Includes 6x5x6 categories, or 180 cells of different intellectual tasks.
- One test designed on the S-I model is the Structure of Intellect Learning Abilities Test.
Hierarchical Model of Mental Abilities (Philip Vernon)
- Tree-shaped model composed of a general cognitive factor (g) with two major group factors:
- Verbal-educational (v:ed): Verbal and Numerical factors.
- Practical-mechanical-spatial (k:m): Mechanical Information, Spatial, and Psychomotor abilities.
Fluid & Crystallized Intelligence
- 2 types of intelligence entail the ability to perceive relationships but are distinct in other ways.
- Fluid: Genetically determined and nonverbal/culture free.
- Changes less over short periods, adversely affected by brain injuries, requires adaptation to new situations.
- Peaks around age 14 or 15.
- Crystallized: Acquired skills and knowledge, develops from application of fluid intelligence and is influenced by education factors.
- Develops until age 25-30.
Triarchic Model of Intelligence
- Intellectual skills and thinking skills are inseparable.
- Triarchic model consists of 3 elements that explain what intelligence involves:
- Componential Information.
- Metacomponents: Executive components of used to plan, monitor and evaluate problem solving.
- Performance Components: Used to infer relations, apply to new stimuli and compare attributes to stimuli.
- Knowledge-acquisition Components include selective encoding, combination and comparison.
- Experiential: Ability to formulate new ideas by combining seemingly unrelated facts.
- Contextual: Ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
Theory of Multiple Intelligences
- The brain evolved separate systems for different adaptive abilities and talents
- Intelligence is the ability to solve problems or create valued products in one or more cultural settings.
- The 9 Intelligences:
- Linguistic
- Logical-mathematical
- Spatial
- Musical
- Bodily-kinesthetic
- Intra-personal
- Interpersonal
- Naturalistic
- Existentialist
